📉 Ripple makes the holder community shake their heads in disappointment. While other altcoins are "tearing the wind", XRP is still... sitting still watching the wind blow. This month, it only increased by 6.18%. Read it correctly - six point eighteen percent. That is no better than bank interest rates, but it carries crypto risks.
🎯 More importantly, the $2.40 level is becoming a familiar “glass ceiling” – thick, hard, and cold. It’s not the first time XRP has hit it. But this time, sentiment seems to be falling along with confidence.
📌 Looking at the latest data, many traders are starting to wonder:
Is XRP Accumulating for a Big Breakout? Or Preparing to… Surrender to the Market?
⸻
🧠 On-chain data rings the bell
According to statistics from Glassnode, more than 70% of XRP’s realized market capitalization was formed between late 2024 and early 2025. This sounds like good news – but in fact, this is an extremely dangerous type of “liquidity concentration”. When money flows in rapidly in a short period of time, the floor will be thin. A reversal can make many people fall.
This pattern has been repeated many times – and it never ends well:
• In 2017, XRP climbed to $3.55 and then dropped… 95%.
• 2021, same thing – flew up and then plummeted 80%.
• Earlier this year, XRP rose to nearly $3.40 and then fell back down.
Each time, the scenario behind it is the same: young money, intense FOMO, and finally… no one buys anymore.
⸻
📉 Active addresses down 90% – no one playing anymore?
Another important indicator – the number of active addresses – is also painting a grim picture.
XRP peaked in March 2025 in terms of user engagement. But since then, the number has dropped by 90%. There has been a slight recovery, but it is very weak. If XRP were a football stadium, most of the spectators would have left by now – even though the game is not over yet.
And this is having a negative impact on confidence. Few users → few transactions → little volume → hard to increase the price. Without any sophisticated analysis, just looking at the current “noise” of the XRP community, we can see an uncomfortable silence. No FOMO, no FUD, just a long silence – sometimes, that is the scariest signal.
⸻
🏦 Organizational money fleeing?
While retail traders staying quiet is one thing, institutional withdrawals are another. Data from last week showed a net $37.5 million in XRP outflows from large funds. This marked the end of an 80-week streak of inflows.
Funds are now shifting – to Solana, Sui, or better performing mid-caps. That is, even those with a long-term vision are not willing to bet on XRP at this point.
Why did they leave? No one said it clearly. But the most common reason was always: “no longer attractive compared to other options.”
⸻
🌀 The silence before the storm?
XRP is currently like a calm lake – no ripples. But everyone knows: too much calm is often not a good thing in financial markets. The question is no longer “when will it rise?” but “if it falls – where will it fall?”
In the eyes of many traders, the $1.76 level is a “sensitive point”. Let’s consider this the last psychological support zone before XRP enters a new downtrend. If it is broken, the slide may not stop easily.
And if it does hold, XRP faces an even bigger challenge: convincing the community to come back.
⸻
🤔 Should we expect?
Many veteran holders still cling to the belief that XRP has surprised before, and will surprise again. They point to the SEC lawsuit, the potential for international remittances, or the secret partnerships that Ripple has not yet announced.
But the market doesn't live on beliefs. It responds to money and real action.
Low volume + hesitant sentiment + institutional outflows – that’s not what you want to see when betting on an altcoin trying to break out.
⸻
✅ Conclusion: XRP is having its trust tested
• Prices increase slowly, user activity decreases sharply
• Institutional money flows out, retail community is quiet
• Still hasn't broken the $2.4 resistance in months
No one can say for sure that XRP will crash – but it clearly isn’t going up. And in the crypto market, sometimes “no rise” is worse than “big fall”.
💬 So what do you think: will XRP break out like in 2017? Or will it be another “liquidity trap”?
